It was a pleasure collaborating on the horror course Miz! I'm sure people are going to learn a ton from it. Looking forward to playing a bunch of great horror games in the near future.
This is honestly such a shame, I really want this course but the scammers Thornprod won't sell it without the overpriced art bundle. Let me explain, its fair that they get paid for their work. But be reasonable especially seeing as their "art" program, the courses in it, there are 3. Their own which is 5 hours, a blender course which I already have and purchased for $9.99 which is 21 hours then a pixel art course which is 5 hours which I already have and purchased for $9.99. And on their site they infer that the game art alone is worth $1297 for 31 hours of content. But I already have 26 hours of that content for $19.98, so they're literally suggesting that their content, their 5 hour content is worth $1277!! That is a joke, that is a literal scam! I could get behind this if they sold modules on their own, but they force you to buy content they claim is worth $1297 for 31 hours of content which I already own 26 hours of at a cost of $19.98. They are scammers and I am so disappointed, I don't even blame Miz, its these other scamming clown BlackProddingThorn
What would maybe add some immersion and nail-biting is probably if there were a "switch" scenes in which the vehicle you are driving has broke down and you would have to slowly (since the character's leg is broken) crawl to a new one, all the while zombies are closing in on you. I love how you have stick with one top-down horror style but you keep on improving and mastering it.
It is necessary to add the ability to crawl out of the car at some points to crawl to something: ammunition, a first aid kit, or a lever/button to open the door. This way you can also add a whole gameplay layer. And in the future, crawl into different types of transport)
8 hours!? I am so used to seeing game dev videos where they show a cool simple idea and say "yeah this took just 3 months but I am happy with it" so its cool to see something like this take a short amount of time. Means with enough skill and experience you can prototype ideas much easier, which is inspiring to think about.
Great idea, simple and kicks hard. I would experiment with some things. First, I would try to make it so that firing forward is somehow more effective that firing backward or sideways (maybe hit chance decrease / aim cone increase when aiming backwards). This could motivate the player to think more about the car position and moving trajectory. Second, I would add the visible kickback after each shot that messes the aim and I would alsp make each shot more deadly (so less shots per second while keeping the same dps), this might add the strategic element to the shooting timing. And lastly maybe add actual parking because parking itself is scary. Say, you need to park at tight spot to heal (under time pressure) but if you scratch a neighbor car in the process the zombies come out of it. And the different parkings (parallel, bakward, etc.) give different bonuses.
I feel like the game did not convey the feeling you mentioned at the beginning of having to drive carefully through an underground car park due to it being cramped, The speed of the vehicle being seemingly limited makes it feel very safe, where as a vehicle that could accelerate to higher speeds could promote risk v reward, test their patience and get them to crash more... The feel of the game is great though and the idea is very novel
Very cool idea-great work as always. I do have one critique, though; the car seems to pivot around its center, which means that if you are near a wall and attempt to steer away, the rear of the car will swing out and hit the wall. You might have noticed this phenomenon when using a shopping car with four articulating wheels. Instead, the car should pivot where its rear axle/differential would be. This would allow for a more intuitive and less frustrating experience as it emulates the expected steering behavior many people are used to in their day to day lives.
It wold be cool to have medkits on the walls of the building, like the “emergency medkits" instead of them laying on the floor. and having to pick them up with hands instead of auto pickup with car to make it more realistic.
Thats really cool! This game reminds me of that one game when you play as a guy in a wheelchair and you use the momentum and movement limited doing everything with your hands while having to also fight of hordes of enemies

You should just have the character be a disabled person that can't walk Edit: now that I think about it thats a very scary thought to be disabled in a zombie apocalypse
Miziziziz: in this game most of your body parts were *violently torn off* and you have to *cauterize your wounds* and play the whole rest of the game with only one arm :) also Miziziziz: in this game you broke your leg and if you didnt have a car you couldnt move :( i kid, i love seeing what youre working on and this is a cool take on an unconventional setting
You know, I think as long as a game is unique, it can sell well. Good luck on your project and your future projects! I have good faith that you will be remembered as one of the biggest indie game developers if you keep your games unique and prioritize quality over quantity!
This reminds me of a game where you had one arm and fought zombies with your gun (also you had to stop a parasite from getting in your brain by injecting it)
So back when I was younger I used to play this game called SAS Zombie Assault on a webgame browser called Ninja Kiwi. Even to this day I still enjoy this franchise, but I was disappointed to find that there were no other games like it except for Darkwood and the games that you have made. I just love the ambience and direness found in the SAS games, and the projects that you have done scratches that itch for me. It would be cool if you checked out those games, I have a feeling it would fit in your lane. Maybe you will find some inspiration for a new project. I would definitely love to see more games like SAS.
Lol I just had a very similar idea about an hour ago while driving around an underground car park looking for exit signs. It was at a mall where I went to see FNAF.
Maybe the ending you get out of the car park and you drive into one of those double bladed helicopters and get out with your life and your golfcart Also add A bandage with A bit of red on the bandage and the floor of the golf cart :D
I’m so glad someone is finally accuracy describing the horror of artificially necessary infrastructure to feed the ever gluttonous car centric idea of a city
Idea: You have to reaload your gun and while you reload, you lose control of turning to the right/left (because you don't have any hands on the steering wheel)
Implement Endoparastic's you cannot move and reload at the same time. The golf cart makes for some interesting inventory management without any dedicated inventory UI. Instead of just sucking the item when you drive over them, you have to drive close then grab it with your driving hand and then drop it in the basket of your golf cart. To change weapons, reload, heal yourself, you have to interact with the basket in the golf cart. No inventory UI, no pause, the best accessibility option you can allow the player is to zoom in as they move their hand to the basket. Same inventory management as Endoparasitic but this time, Medicines share the same space as ammo and weapons. Sure you get a bigger pack, but you might have to sacrifice a weapon or medicine if you really need that extra ammo. For extra evil points. Require doors with IDs and Keys that you physically have to drag and drop from your golf cart to the door/interactable. It doesn't have to be just doors or gates, a leaking pipe that ignites into flames might require a fire extinguisher. All of this should increase the tension of the game. And lastly: limited fuel/battery.
I think it'd be cool if the golf cart COULD go fast but the player is forced to go slow in most of the game. Golf carts are pretty darn fast IRL but in a car park you'd be fighting against the throttle to maneuver carefully. I know that's how it was when I drove one. Then to add some variety there could be a few fast levels where something is chasing you and you actually have to go full speed. It would also make golf cart durability as an important resource to manage as you COULD run over some zombies and make a section easier at the cost of some health and the risk of slamming into a wall.
Saying how its a car park, maybe for future things like bonus weapons, you can rarely find actual ones. Perhaps your character can make makeshift weapons like slingshots or bow and crossbows
i noticed a problem. i saw that in the gameplay you can just run over the supplies for get them wich kinda fell off. how about you make the layer have to make an interaction(perhaps lenghty since the MC got broken legs) for pick up the supplies from the ground?.
I'd love to play this, but it unfortunately is very laggy when I try to. I'm not sure why, as I have a fairly high end laptop, so I was wondering if this is a common bug on the game, or if this is unique to me, and if there's any known way to fix it. Thanks!
Here's an idea, since you're in a golf cart, what if driving over bodies slowed you down? It could lead to some moments where you wait before killing an enemy because if you do, you can't retreat
I have to say, i love the games you make, any chance i have to buy one i do it but, again? Legless? Nothing against but most of the time going with legs damn
This seems very similar to Endoparasitic, enemies always in your face, the never ending darkness that clogs your vision, and the uniqueness of the game itself (Lets be real who would think of a game where you have only one arm plus 4 weapons and another game where you shoot zombies with a gun while driving your car throufh a car park)
I think it would be good that you have to manually change the pedal manually by putting a brick on one of them since the protagonist's legs are broken.
I feel like it would have made more sense for the level geometry be cars keeping you from going places instead of windy walls if you're saying this is a parking garage, but... that's just a visual thing, really.

Art style and Godot helps a lot.
Easter egg idea: secret level where you’re in a lawn mower like that doom mod. That is all. Looks cool.
And able to mow down zombies (as for a shotgun, a model 1887 would be perfect since it's a lever action)
The European mind cannot comprehend this.
Imagine driving over a blood puddle and the wheels of the vehicle leave a trail for a short second.
Great idea, simple and kicks hard.
I would experiment with some things.
First, I would try to make it so that firing forward is somehow more effective that firing backward or sideways (maybe hit chance decrease / aim cone increase when aiming backwards). This could motivate the player to think more about the car position and moving trajectory.

Maybe bumping a neighboring car while parking sets off its alarm attracting more enemies, or perhaps a scarier and stronger enemy?
@@NaturalHyperiongreat idea
And what if aiming behind you causes your character to stop driving.
You always come up with simple but very unique concepts for games! Love this new addition already and can't wait for more!

The tires of the cart should leave red tread marks behind when they drive over blood puddles!
Please make bloody tire tracks when you drive trough blood
Dude is making bangers every time
Crazy how you do something I wouldn't be able to do in a year or two in a few weeks and finish it up just for one video. Amazing work! (As usual)
Tbh it'd not that complicated to make of if you have the proper experience. I could do it under a day but my ai skills are bad
You should just have the character be a disabled person that can't walk
Edit: now that I think about it thats a very scary thought to be disabled in a zombie apocalypse
I was just wondering when you would upload again. Really creative ideas here
Interesting idea :) ! It looks fun!
Interesting to see that you changed game engine (from Godot to Unity). What were your reasons?
I think it was for his tutorial. As unity dev it will help me quite a lot
You should make it were when aming behind you add an aimation and you stop driving.
Could be a cool limitation to add on
Miziziziz: in this game most of your body parts were *violently torn off* and you have to *cauterize your wounds* and play the whole rest of the game with only one arm :)

Moral lesson: continue do what you are good at 🔥
the zombies look so doofy i love it
you can use an inventory system that makes you stack stuff on top of each other. so if you want something from your inventory start digging
This reminds me of a game where you had one arm and fought zombies with your gun (also you had to stop a parasite from getting in your brain by injecting it)
You know it's a Miziziziz game when you see the silhouette art kicks in.

It doesn't have to be just doors or gates, a leaking pipe that ignites into flames might require a fire extinguisher. All of this should increase the tension of the game.
And lastly: limited fuel/battery.
you should add Hardest Difficulty mode with "A Thousand Miles" playing in the background XD
I think it'd be cool if the golf cart COULD go fast but the player is forced to go slow in most of the game. Golf carts are pretty darn fast IRL but in a car park you'd be fighting against the throttle to maneuver carefully. I know that's how it was when I drove one.

It would also make golf cart durability as an important resource to manage as you COULD run over some zombies and make a section easier at the cost of some health and the risk of slamming into a wall.
maybe you could have jerry cans as fuel, like a softer version of the syringes in endoparasitic
If I had to guess Lore wise this might be a Sequel to endoparasitic
the scaries part about this game is the knowledge that somebody decided to build a parking garage.
well i thik you could added something at resting place so that we could know his legs are damaged
The zombies kinda remind of the endoparasitic zombies that lay down maybe you can make a new spinoff for endoparasitic
Saying how its a car park, maybe for future things like bonus weapons, you can rarely find actual ones. Perhaps your character can make makeshift weapons like slingshots or bow and crossbows
Arena mode is you in a skating rink with a zamboni.
For a second I thought this was an expansion or precursor for endoparasitic.
Car should leave rubber marks behind it, would definitely add to its clunky feel.
i noticed a problem.
i saw that in the gameplay you can just run over the supplies for get them wich kinda fell off.
how about you make the layer have to make an interaction(perhaps lenghty since the MC got broken legs) for pick up the supplies from the ground?.
You should make the blood spray onto the golf cart and player if you shoot a zombie in front of you 👍
I'd love to play this, but it unfortunately is very laggy when I try to. I'm not sure why, as I have a fairly high end laptop, so I was wondering if this is a common bug on the game, or if this is unique to me, and if there's any known way to fix it. Thanks!
